Just The Crust: Pizza Crunch – That Serene Age ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new album from Pizza CrunchThat Serene Age“! ⚡️

we’re massive fans of these guys, having covered their music plenty of times in the past and with each release they smash out a huge banger, always quality stuff. 😎 they’ve made waves across Scotland with their sound and this album only continues with that trend!

the album contains some of their previous singles, which we’ve had on repeat over the past few months including “Young Excitement” “Romanticised Past” and “Wilting Youth” but this full release really gels the tracks together, with the addition of some brilliant tunes that really compliment the singles, giving a real continuous identity to the release and expanding on their sound even more. ☀️

with luscious soundscaping and dreamy guitar riffs, they’ve managed to create a beautiful sounding tracklist that flows so well into each of the tunes, the atmospheric feel of “Insignificant” really flows so well into the contrast of the next track and this is a huge constant within the album. well worth a listen in full! 👊

head on over to Spotify to find the album in full – it’s available on all streaming sites and there’s also some music videos on their YouTube! get on it 🤘

Just The Crust 26/09/22: The Battery Farm – Wooden Spoon Number ⚡️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from The Battery FarmWooden Spoon Number“! 🤘

another in a fantastic line of tunes from them – they’ve had so many unreal releases, we loved their album last year “Dirty Den’s March of Suffering“, full of huge riffs and anthemic tunes. 😎

this new tune continues in their recognisable signature sound, opening with a huge rhythm section and a unique and familiar vocal from Benjamin – with his songwriting style shining through with the lyrics, a real great writer here and with a proper down to earth style from him. 👊 the synth line really brings the track together as well, really gels it all together superbly. the breakdown is massive as well, we can imagine that this would sound absolutely gigantic live!

you can find it on all streaming platforms – or catch the full music video over on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB9yaa38RxA☀️ well worth a listen! another incredible release for them, we can’t wait to hear more.

Just The Crust 19/09/22: Full Billy – All I Ever ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Preston’s own Full Billy “All I Ever”! 🤘

these guys have been making waves since they formed, we had them perform for us at our Toasted gig at the Grafton Arms and they smashed their set – proper talented chaps. ☀️

continuing from the huge sound of their debut single “Power Couple”, they’ve only expanded on their style of huge drums, powerful riffs and catchy, massive choruses – this new single sounds fantastic and we imagine it’s gonna be a belter live. 😎

it opens up with a massive wall of sound, lovely guitar riffs weaving their way around the rhythm section and then suddenly drops into an intimate and delicate verse that commands your attention – only to build so well with arpeggios, hard-hitting rhythm and suddenly exploding into the chorus with a wall of distortion that really forces its way into the forefront of the track. 😎 the bridge is laced with huge vocals, really showing off Joe’s vocal ability, before leading into a lovely melody-stricken outro that reinforces how tight these lads are as a band.

another incredible release for them, we can’t wait to hear even more from the band! you can find it over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1jfblnenN2GuVgEpD3Nacq… – also available on all streaming platforms!

REVIEW: Green Wire – Upside Down, Inside Out 💥

Manchester’s indie-rockers Green Wire put out their brand new single “Upside Down, Inside Out” earlier this month! ⚡️

we’ve covered their music a fair bit now here on the website, and we’re huge fans of their explosive energy, captivating riffs and class songwriting that’s come to define their songs. Their previous releases are an apt example of their talent, we especially love “Cigarettes on the Dancefloor” and “T-shirt & Jeans“, both feel like a nostalgic trip to our late teens, late nights out and getting drunk in nightclubs. 👊

this new single stays true to their sound, with huge guitar riffs leading the track in, accompanied by massive rhythm sections that really make the track explode! after the massive intro, it drops down and gives way for the story to be told, and the main vocal takes command of the track, directing your attention to it so well and the songwriting is as great as ever, a gorgeous depiction of the romantic interactions between people. as it opens up into the chorus it regains the ferocity of the intro, sounding huge and with a massive singalong hook that we’re sure will be belted back at the band at any live gigs. 🤘

the bridge gives the track so much room to breathe, utilising the power chords from the rhythm guitar to give the drums their time to shine, with so many class fills really showing off the talent in the band, you can tell each member is so in sync with one another and gel so well – absolutely fantastic to see. it finally reaches the closing point on a final huge rendition of the chorus, we’re sure this one’s gonna be a belter to catch at their gigs, another brill tune from these lads.

you can find it on all the streaming sites including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/7HviO4x9zeD0zpo9UsZhtC?si=TYSVFRY4SsWWZ5jhxrTMCw – it’s worth checking out all these guys’ tunes, great catalogue already with only a few singles out. 🍞
